    About this series

    Introducing sixteenth-century Scottish lawyer and amateur sleuth Hew Cullan in "a gripping mystery that holds the reader to the very last page" (John Burnside, prize-winning poet and novelist).

    1579, St Andrews. A thirteen-year-old boy meets his death on the streets of the university city of St Andrews, and suspicion falls upon one of the regents at the university, Nicholas Colp. Hew Cullan, a young lawyer recently returned home from Paris, uncovers a complex tale of passion and duplicity, of sexual desire in conflict with the repressive atmosphere of the Protestant Kirk and the austerity of the academic cloister.
